DALMATIAN
History - Brought to England during the Crusades from the Arabic coastal area of Dalmatia, the dalmatian is thought to have a hunting pointer in its background, but British sportsmen discovered it was better at guarding its owner’s horses, carriages, and coach inhabitants than hunting. It is best known for its work as a firehouse dog.
Temperament - Dalmations are loving with their families, but because they can be very stubborn, they must be socialized and begin obedience classes early. Most dalmatians are aloof and wary of and/or territorial with strangers. They get along with other dogs and most other small animals, though birds and squirrels may look like dinner to them, so they must be walked on a leash.
Upkeep - Dalmations shed constantly and so should be brushed daily. They need vigorous exercise and extensive training to avoid serious behavior problems.
Size - height 19-24 inches, weight 45-65 pounds.
